STILL WATER BINDERY

Etui

Handmade at Still Water Bindery

​

Each etui is handmade at Still Water Bindery in Vermont - these are not an import. Every etui is carefully designed, and the materials are painstakingly chosen to complement each other. The vintage buttons are chosen to match the colors and textures of the silks and ribbon used.

​

Large sheets of archival binder's board are cut to size, covered with book cloth, silk, ribbon and padding to create individual pillows that hold a variety of sewing needles and a thimble. Traditional bookbinding techniques are used to construct the box. The petals fall open when the lid is taken off the top to the surprise and delight of all that open the plain rectangular shaped box. A printed diagram is housed in the lid that describes the various needles and their uses. Each etui has over 80 individual pieces and takes about 40 hours to construct. These are a labor of love!

​

It could be made from her wedding and brides maids dress fabrics, or from family heirloom fabrics or those collected abroad from a special trip.
